Factual and Procedural History Christina R. (mother) and father are the parents of Allysa R., Nicole R., and Jayden W. On September 27, 2011 Ventura County Human Services Agency (HSA) and the police removed the family from a home that was "yellow tagged" for no working utilities. A code enforcement officer reported that father and mother "took over" the house after it was foreclosed upon and slept in the attic. The front door was barricaded shut and the toilet was filled with urine and feces. Pornography and debris were on the floor and the walls were covered with graffiti depicting sexual images and drug terminology. Alcohol and weapons were accessible to the children and dirty clothes and empty beer cans were scattered about. No food was in the house other than a moldy bagel, a half gallon of milk, and two cartons of rotting milk. Mother and the children were permitted to vacate the premises. After HSA obtained a protective custody warrant to detain the children, father said the two older children were staying with friends but did not know their address or telephone number. The social worker checked with relatives but could not find mother or the children. On September 30, 2011 the two older children were detained at school. HSA and the Ventura Police returned to the yellow-tagged house and found a woman (Gretchen) in the backyard who appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance and had difficulty waking up. The woman stated that she was father's girlfriend and did not know how she got into the backyard or how long she had been passed out. The officers found three-year-old Jayden asleep in the attic with mother. The attic space was full of rat feces and debris, knives were stuck in the walls, and an attic door accessed a roof deck that lacked a railing or child barrier. When mother saw the officers, she wrapped her arms and legs around Jayden, and squeezed so hard that Jayden urinated on herself. Mother refused to release Jayden until the officers drew
